Had an amazing conversation with a stranger today.

I have a place in the middle of town with no fence. An older man walked up and just sat on the chair next to me by our fire pit. He said he had a firepit back home on Vancouver island and then he told his story. He told about how he was fairly successful in life with a nice house and good money back in the 90's. Then he said he got in a bad car accident and then another. He says he was down for about 15 years. The Docs said he would never walk again but he knew about the power of visualisation and because he did sports earlier in life he knew the sensations and visceral sight feeling of when he was sporty.

He was on many medications where you'd have a whole range of different shapes and colors of pills in your hands. He said he would put them to his mouth and gag. One day he told the doctor he had enough after many surgeries and medications. He went out alone one night to his old fishing hole and through his crutches away as a symbolic gesture. He said he knew at that point he was done with Western Medicine! He was able to walk again and scoot along. He used to be a runner. He went back to the basketball court again and found he retained all his knowledge and faculties after 15 years of not playing. He was able to use his ability of meditation, mindfulness and visualisation to be able to sink every ball he shot at the net. He did at a distance to not get bumped cause his body was still fragile.

The man that was telling this story was 75! He didn't look 75!! Sometimes that happens where you will meet someone who tells an interesting story and it is uplifting! I do believe in angels that way. It calmed my worries about all the current medical worries/paranoias. The story from this man was he was able to recover his life again after being crippled for a long time. He was tired of pills, crutches and people looking after him. He was used to being successful. This reversal of fate changed his life! Now he teaches healing through visualisation and meditation. He knows how to calm people down with anxiety by talking to them. He knows how to give all his attention for someones benefit. He can charge for his services but he told me he also enjoys healing people for free. He got into the whole holistic side of things. His gift is his body consciousness and visualisation. He had to move from the city because the noise would pulsate through his whole body.

It pumped me up good! The conversation was helpful. A personal triumph story after being broken down. He says he is a fairly well off fellow so I'm sure that helped him plenty. Yet I see it was up to him to really fight to get his strength and mobility back. He was able to keep the visualisation of playing sports and remember what it physically felt like. Pretty neat time! Doesn't happen everyday. Although maybe it could!!

I love random conversations with people. Sometimes they are there to tell a story and sometimes they appear so you can share yours. I really believe they happen exactly when you need them to. Good luck with your health, wellness and healing.
